John G. Messina

I had not seen John for many years. He was a high school friend. I wanted to find him. I did not expect this. My condolences to his family he was a great guy.

To John's wife, daughter, & family,
I knew him briefly from his time spent recovering at rehab, but every single interaction I had with him he always had a big smile on his face and kind words to share! Despite what health issues he was going through, he never let it get himself down, nor anyone around him. He was the type of patient that the therapists would argue over vying for the right to get to work with him! My condoloences on the loss of a great man in your family, though he has...

Fond memories of growing up in West Haven with John and the Messina family: drum and bugle corps, American Legion picnics and parades. The smile is eternal.

Elaine and I wish to extend our thoughts and prayers as you celebrate John's life. It was fitting to see his photo with that "Messina" smile. Remembering the "good times".

I worked with John on the ATIS Technical Committee for Energy Efficiency. He was an excellent leader who effectively moved our work forward. I am sorry for your loss. May his memory be eternal.

Nancy ,Kayt and family,my deepest sympathy on the loss of your loving husband and father. He will be forever missed.

Dear Nancy and Kayt,

We are saddened to hear of the loss of our dear Cousin Johnny. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you both at this sad time.

John was a terrific person and he will remain in our hearts and always be remembered.

God Bless.

Love,
Cousins Rita and John

Nancy, Kayt, Angela and family - I truly don't have the right words to say. John, what a special soul he was. For so many of Kayt's friends/students he was like a second father and I am sure to his peers he was like a brother. Such a kind, caring man. I am so glad I knew him. I loved my chats with him after classes as he was cleaning up at the studio. Kayt, you truly were the apple of his eye, it was written clearly on his face. Nancy, you and John were in my eyes what a married couple...

I knew John only through work in ATIS and AT&T. I do know that through all the work we did together at various meetings, in different places, His eyes would always brighten and that smile would come across his face, anytime we discussed his family. God bless you, John was a great man who loved his family, enjoyed life, and seemed to always be able to make a friend.
